Feature for reporting heavy rain/thunderstorm.
Add a feature for reporting heavy rain/thunderstorm ahead as there is no function to report this reason now if there is a jam ahead due to these circumstances and people can only report fog or jail which is not suitable for describing the situation.

Checking if the one who declared a radar false alarm is moving or not, because if not he's a cop
If I just passed a radar and declared it, the cop can just mark it as false, but the cop (in most countries) has static location, so why not checking if the one who declared it as false is moving or not.

Wildlife Near Road Alert
We live out in the middle of nowhere OH and often see deer and other living wildlife near the road. Would love to see a button in the hazards to report "Wildlife Near Road." Think this would be helpful to many others!!!

Finger hold for icon placement
When placing a hazard or police location on the map, currently you have to tap on the screen to bring up the choices, tap for police, tap again for their location and then tap again to place it on the map. Why not after the first tap, if you keep your finger on the screen, automatically show the options, slide your finger to the one you want, and then once your finger is released, the icon drops straight into the map.
Simple and less steps to get the right icon on the map and also lessens the time concentrating on…7 votes -
Speed and mobile phone camera detection
J think it would be a great idea to distinguish between different types of law enforcement, particularly in Australia. At the moment, mobile speed cameras, police and mobile phone detection cameras are all reported as “police”. To better improve this process, I think it would be a good idea to have a “law enforcement” report option (replaces current “police”, then the options such as “mobile speed camera”, “police”, “phone detection”. The “phone detection” and “mobile speed camera” should also have the option to report on the opposite side of the road like the “police” option currently has.

Potholes Suck!
Potholes are expensive and municipalities do not like to cover the property damage, neither do insurance companies....
You should add the feature to report a pothole and send it to the county/state responsible.....this will help people avoid rim damage (like we did to the tune of ~$400) and so that municipalities can't deny the claim of damage with the lame excuse that "they didn't know" like Winston-Salem, NC did to us...
Waze would save so much money for their users!

User Reporting - initial and more details
Add an option to email reporting user for more details when creating the report. The long press on report currently gives options for Police, Hazard and Traffic. My suggestion is to add one for 'email me' where the user can provide full details when they are not driving. Navigating to the Report, finding the correct option, before finding the Later option is not safe when you driving.
As editors, there are a lot of reports with minimal detail. Posting a request for the submitter to provide more details rarely gets a response.

Hazard on the Road: Add Construction with People
In my state, you must slow down to 45 MPH construction zones when workers are present. If there are no people you can proceed to posted construction speed (60 MPH in 70 MPH zone)

New report temporary traffic. Lights

Quick Reports
The addition of Quick Reporting using a long press on the report button is an improvement but just a slight improvement. This only reduces the number of clicks it takes to make a hazard, police, or traffic report by one. It still takes 4 clicks to report a vehicle stopped on the shoulder which is most likely the most used report while driving. It would be much better to have the long press with the option to choose vehicle stopped on the shoulder, police reported, or Object on road specifically as these are the most common reports while driving at…

Ability to enter when a lane is closed due or a turn is temporarily blocked
Need the ability to identify temporary lane closures as well as temporary turn prevention due to any activity. I have experienced this a number of times where a lane is closed off for some type of activity but Waze doesn’t allow me to report it to x pet for saying Construction on road when it isn’t always construction. Sometimes lanes are closed temporarily for events being held in the streets or even a right turn isn’t allowed because of road closures or other work being performed.

Mute social notifications
The new +5 notifications keep interrupting my music and podcasts while driving. There is no setting under push, text, email or reports notifications to turn off the nags. Please let make it clear how to turn off sounds in the app, or at least let us turn off social sounds. Sound is the primary interface to Waze, it is extremely important to keep the signal to noise ratio high... Getting 10 social notifications a minute undermines navigation, alerts and Waze as a whole.

Add the ability to report air patrols
Add the ability to report air patrols, which is very common in Ohio. It would be good to be aware when this is being used for those times when the patrols start before there is a reported police presence.

Being able to Report Hazards/Accidents/Police on roads that aren’t your current location.
Currently, you are only able to make reports in the exact spot you are driving through.
Live reporting whilst driving is very unsafe and using the phone while driving is illegal.I suggest there should be a feature where you can make reports that aren’t in the exact spot you currently traveling through.
This makes reporting safer and even can make the spot more accurate.Example, If I was driving and wanted to report there are police on a different road then I’m on “excluding the opposite side” I can’t.
If you think this is too powerful or could be…

Multi Directional Alerts
Multi-Directional Alerts
Weather and animals on the shoulder should be Multi-Directional Alerts.
This is true as the weather doesn't care what direction you're coming from.
Also, animals on the shoulder could cross the road and come back on again from the other side.
Please consider this suggestion.5 votes
